Wilbur Smith, one of the world’s most acclaimed adventure writers, returns to the world of ancient Egypt with Warlock, the stunning sequel to the New York Times bestselling River God. In the wake of a sixty-year war over the reign of the kingdoms of Egypt, two young pharaohs have risen to claim power, but only one can succeed, deciding the fate of his empire forever…The mission of Prince Nefer, rightful heir to the throne, is to rebuild a magnificent kingdom in the stark and tumbled ruins of the embattled city of Gallala. The desire of Lord Naja is to destroy his rival and rule the land with unholy supremacy. But Nefer has on his side the warlock Taita, a matchless ally and legendary priest of notorious powers.To see their dream come true, Nefer and Taita must stay one step ahead of the depraved assassin, survive the tortuous shadow of her ever-pursuing armies, and outwit the shocking betrayals of is own flesh and blood. As Nefer’s courage increases, and as Taita’s magic grows more beguiling, so grows stronger the power of their tireless enemies.Now, with the threat of tyranny and blood thundering closer and closer toward the vulnerable gates of Gallala, the ultimate battle for Egypt will begin….

Just way too long. I came into the series with this book, and I enjoyed the concept of the story, but the unabridged version was just endless.Although Dick Hill gave it a good try, the characters as written were underdeveloped, onesided, and wooden. When you write historical fiction, you have to move fluidly between history and fiction, and this book fell just short of bringing the time of Nefer Seti to life. Im sure it is good history it just didnt work very well as epic fiction.

Set long ago......more

This is closer to Historical Fantasy The story itself is kind of insane. it's messy as hell, and......more

Goodreads review by Charmaine on September 07, 2011

I love Wilbur Smith. He manages to write a book that espouses adventure, history, friendship and romance all at once. The central character Taita; though a eunuch, is a dashing “romantic” lead with his on-going love for Queen Lostris. In this world and time, it is refreshing to read of love beyond t......more
